She| attended regularly and promptly all the services of her church until two months [before death. She took an active part in the Sunday school, in which she had been a teacher for many years, and was among the first to advance the work of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society, whose faithful and efficient treasurer she had been for many years. She leaves a devoted husband, brother, sister and a host of friends to mourn her death. After appropriate services by her pastor on Tuesday morning, her body was laid to rest in Mt. Pleasant cemetery. New Pastor. The Fairfax correspondent of The State wrote that paper under date December 15: "Rev. J. A.

Married. On Wednesday afternoon, December 18th, though the day had been very misty and was still disagreeable, quite a crowd gathered at the home of Mrs. E. E. Mitchell at Clear Pond, to witness the marriage ceremony of her daughter, Miss Rebekah, to Mr. John Henry Pearson. Promptly at 4 o'clock Miss Georgie Emma Jordan and Mr. Charlie Mitchell came into the parlor, followed closely by the bride and groom to be, where they were in a few, but beautiful words, made man and wife by Rev. S. P. Chisolm, of Colston. The bride was attired in pearl errey with white trimmings, and never looked fairer than on her bridal eve. Miss Jordan was dressed in seal brown with cream trimmings. The groom and his best man wore black suits with white waist coats. The bride is one of Clear Pond's sweetest maidens and is of very quiet, unassuming manners. The groom is a son of Mr. Henry Pearson, of our community, and is of good behavior and kind disposition. They received many useful presents. The writer, with their other many friends, extends congratulations and best wishes for years of happiness and prosperity. Negro Killed. Laurens, Dec. 29.?The only holiday killing in this county so far is reported from Goldville, which occurred last night about 8 o'clock, Dave Hunter, a negro originally from Union county, being the victim. It seems that Hunter was standing out about the railway track, in front of the stores, when he was shot through his head, being instantly killed. Just who fired the fatal shot is not known, and as there had been a good deal of promiscuous shooting around during the night, it is difficult to say whether Hunter was killed by design or whether he was t.Vip victim of an accidental stray shot. Sheriff Duckett was notified of the killing and two officers were sent to the scene late last night to make an investigation. Up to noon today it is understood that no arrests have been made in connection with the tragedy. Severely Burned. Mrs. W. E. Spann was severely burned last Wednesday night at her home in this city. There was no one at home at the time except herself and her two little girls. Mrs. Spann is not in good health and she had a sudden fainting spell and fell near the fire place withher feet in the fire. The older of the little girls ran for help, but the little tot, only six years old, tried to drag her mother away from the fire.? She finally got her feet out, and got water and was putting out the fire when help came. Mrs. Spann's shoes had already been burned through to the flesh and her clothing was also on fire. While Mrs. Spann is painfully and seriously burned, she is getting along as well as could be expect ed. . Ehrhardt Etchings. Erhardt, Dec. 30.?Christmas quietly passed here, and we are glad to say that few were seen under the influence of liquor. Mr. J. W. Priester's two sisters spent a few days with him last week.
